NEXTPOST

You vote. I write.

Demand-driven publishing.

Most blogs guess what their readers want and find out afterwards, in the traffic numbers. This one asks first. nextpost.blog is a standing, public queue of articles I have already done the work for — you vote on which one gets written next.

Public counts. LinkedIn sign-in only to cast a vote.

Recently delivered

Voted for, then written. Newest first.

How it works

1

Everything here is already researched

The queue is not a wishlist. Every item is a piece I have already built, measured or broken something over — the writing is what is missing, not the work.

2

You vote for what you want to read

Sign in with LinkedIn and vote. One click, and you can take it back. The point of the sign-in is that a vote comes from a real person with a real job, which is what makes the ranking mean anything.

The votes reorder my week

I write the top of the queue next and publish it on the blog it belongs to. The vote is not a suggestion box that nobody reads — it is the actual running order.

Two lanes

One queue, feeding two blogs. Each item says where it will be published.

Private AI

Running real models on your own GPUs: serving, benchmarks, energy per token, the hardware underneath, and the parts that did not work.

Cloud Exit & Hardware

Leaving the hyperscalers on purpose: hypervisors, passthrough, networking, storage and what the on-prem alternative actually costs.

Why I built this

I have a long list of things I have measured, built or broken in my own lab, and a much shorter list of things I have found time to write up properly. Choosing between them used to be a guess. Now the people who would actually read the article get to make that call.

There is a second, more honest reason: a vote tells me what a real engineer with a real problem wants to know more about. That is far more useful than a page-view count, and it is why the sign-in is there at all — not to collect an audience, but to make the ranking mean something.

Reader polls are not new — newsletters and creator platforms have run them for years. What is unusual here is that the queue is permanent, public, spans both blogs, and every item on it is already researched. Nothing gets voted onto the list that I cannot actually deliver.
